It's literally the same thing

tough rock
#

Wife is finally sleeping, who wants to fight?

#

Man.... Oliver needs to come back so i can emote him disappointingly.

Anyway here's a very minimal and basic story spoiler comparing remake and OG,

||Plot wise everything is the same between games until you start seeing ghosts||

#

And the game straight up tells you what they are so there's no mystery

subtle oyster
#

Sweet

#

Bruh i made this dude RAGE in KL with Raiden

#

I don't play KL often but when I do its glorious

tough rock
#

And 3 straight Smoke/Frosts

#

Thats enough KL for me until next season

kindred osprey

You still on?

Bruh they nerfed Sub again

kindred osprey

Why?

tough rock
#

Klone didn't freeze in the corner

kindred osprey
#

Broooooo
Stop blocking my armor reversals

#

LMFAO

tough rock
#

Happy?

kindred osprey
#

LMFAOOOOO

#

Shittttt

#

Good one

#

Kitana going good, right?

tough rock
#

I am simply not used to a projectile being safe on block

kindred osprey
#

Not safe.
Plus

tough rock
#

Thats what I meant

subtle oyster
#

are the koth's fucked?

Since launch

subtle oyster

):

#

Was gonna say I wanted to watch you guys while I work on a work project for a bit

kindred osprey
#

DROPPPPP

#

Sorry
Can't stream

#

NOOOOOOO
I WAS ROBBED

#

Hate Raiden.
Lmao

tough rock
kindred osprey
#

LMAO

#

The double armor

#

Shao Can't do anything against Raiden
Lmao

#

No mids and his overhead or low are too slow

#

Let's see a proper low in action

#

AWWWWWW
Rep was bullied

tough rock
kindred osprey
#

Sarrena bar eating really makes a difference

#

DROPPPPPPPPP

#

Last one

#

I need to sleep
Lmao

#

Didn't even need the FB
Wasted

#

GGs!!!!!!

#

Thank you so much for the games
Lotta fun

kindred osprey
#

Ok...
That looks cool
I MIGHT try to learn Tanya

#

Anyone playing rn?

wind hedge
#

Tanya is a neat character I enjoy her but she is fairly one note. Also she works best with Goro

kindred osprey
#

My only reason to be interested in her is because she is best buds with Mileena
LMFAO

wind hedge
#

Which is maximum unfortunate

#

Tanya has the long weapon but she's not whip from KOF or Axl from GGST

#

So like eh

kindred osprey
#

More like Billy tbh

wind hedge
#

And I couldn't care less unfortunately. So it is unfortunate

kindred osprey
#

I might take a look and try to learn her later

wind hedge
#

I like her but would rather not play her

kindred osprey
#

LMFAO

#

Reading this Shang guide. How do you even enforce S1 stagger pressure?

kindred osprey
#

Ok
So Tyler
Gimme Tanya bnbs

#

And @north mango
Gimme the Kitana corner infinite unblockable setup
I wanna abuse people online

wind hedge
#

Tanya BnBs are just do string into drill

kindred osprey
# wind hedge Reading this Shang guide. How do you even enforce S1 stagger pressure?

Idk specifically about Shang
But for Mileena, you have to use 12 and F4 often, cuz these are overheads, making your opponents afraid of blocking low
Then, when you press just St. 1, they'll be blocking high and that's +5 for Mileena, meaning the pressure can continue and she can do smt like St 1, St 1, St1, and when they try to duck, you do F1 cuz that's the mid

kindred osprey
wind hedge
kindred osprey
#

Rlx, no rush

wind hedge
#

Kameo call like Goro or Scorp

kindred osprey
#

Am labbing...

wind hedge
#

Whatever her 2 into staff grab is. Into spin kicks or another drill

kindred osprey
#

Ok!
30%
Thxxxxx

wind hedge
#

And you can do the same thing with EX

#

I'll show you the proper ender when I get home

north mango
#

Recommended combos afterwards:

  • Meterless:
    B24 DB1B for another loop
    B24 DB1B, JK, 4 DF2
  • 1 bar:
    3 DB3 EX, B24 DB1B for another loop
    3 DB3 EX, B24 DB1B, J34
  • 2 bar:
    3 DB3 EX, B24 DB1B, BF1B EX, J34
kindred osprey
#

Who wants to test my Tanya?

wind hedge
#

Did you do S3 into drill for the ender?

kindred osprey
kindred osprey
#

Got me to 300 on optimal starter and like 280 from St. 3 into Drill

#

I also tried doing j. 124, air fireball
Works and the dmg is almost the same
But I think oki is worse
And a bit less dmg

north mango
#

But tbh there are worse things left intact in the game so...InoPlan

kindred osprey
#

Yeah, prob won't get nerfed
And it's not like the dmg is great

wind hedge
#

I gotta eat breakfast then I'm gonna see what my numbers are

#

I know with scorpion she got a decent amount of damage but it was 293 since it was simple and like took 4 moves

#

Really all it was. Was her mid string, drill Scorp call, and that one air string that leads to HKD

kindred osprey
#

Honestly
I feel like she might not need much after that
Her neutral seems good

wind hedge
#

Her neutral is odd as hell

#

Because most of her dangerous tools are highs at the mid range

#

But she can yolo drill into Goro to catch you ducking

kindred osprey
#

Thxxxxxx
Now I just need to get it consistent
Lmao

north mango
#

I wanna let you know some more stuff tho

kindred osprey
wind hedge
#

I think it's stupid, because why the hell

#

But it works for some reason

north mango
#
  • It is gonna break every armor except Ashrah's
  • Only way to avoid it is delay getup, but even then Kitana can in turn simply throw later
  • If the armor is broken, the following combo will deal unscaled damage (and they won't have enough meter to break it)
north mango
kindred osprey
#

Yeah, she does seem too honest
You opened my eyes to her dirt

#

Now I am inspired to take her further

wind hedge
#

https://youtu.be/0S_7N7pXPKg?si=m4jsE14z6T7W7n4M

Honestly this video is everything I dislike about Tanya

kindred osprey
#

I do have way too many chars rn tho

wind hedge
#

See how many times she's does that spin kick or drill it's just a bit stupid

kindred osprey
wind hedge
#

Yeah because she's a diseased crackhead. Tanya isn't

#

Or rather I'm not a fan of the character playing that way. Not my style

north mango
kindred osprey
kindred osprey
wind hedge
north mango
#

But I agree, it is pretty situational

kindred osprey
#

Oh shit
But I need Sonya for the combos

wind hedge
#

For what combos?

kindred osprey
#

Kitana combos
I learned some new ones with Sonya

#

Tanya I labbed Goro
I know Scorp could probably do more dmg
But I need yolo safety

north mango
#

Hmm Sonya is good for combos, but nothing else

kindred osprey
#

And she recharges kinda fast
And her grab does fucking 140

north mango
#

Ok that makes sense lol

kindred osprey
#

Sonya isn't really bad, just...
Not exactly great either

north mango
kindred osprey
north mango
#

That's her problem lol

north mango
kindred osprey
#

Exactly
For pressure you'd go for Lao
For combos Scorp

north mango
#

But Frost > Goro for me when it comes to Kitana

kindred osprey
#

I like safe armor reversals

#

I do wish I played more Frost tho
I like her A LOT

#

I've been using Frost with Sindel only
And Smoke

#

Reptile doesn't really need her anymore
But he could use her

north mango
north mango
#

In a sense he is perfectly capable on his own

kindred osprey
#

He needed dmg before the buffs last patch
Now he can just have QOL stuff

north mango
#

Maybe Tremor will help him

kindred osprey
#

Motaro has been doing an amazing job with Reptile

#

The TP combos are optimal, and he helps A LOT with the zoning

#

Also saves me sometimes from my yolo full screen slides

#

And Rep has a safe way to set up turret, so I think that's great synergy there

wind hedge
#

Yeah Tanya really only hits 298-345 between no bar and one bar

kindred osprey
#

And that's ok, like...
She has range and the yolo

wind hedge
#

Alright, do people think a patch is gonna happen with Omni Man or nah?

#

Since MK tom brady put out a video. But the second he said they should buff reptile I just stopped watching

kindred osprey
#

Buff Reptile.
He needs more

wind hedge
#

Nah I just immediately heard that and had no interest in what he has to say

#

Let him move after he throws out that ball? Make his armored low faster? Immediately not interested

kindred osprey
#

Wow
Ok, those are a bit too much
I think Reptile just needs his overhead to charge a bit faster
And maybe a bit faster or longer reaching F2

#

Or more plus frames
He could use those

subtle oyster
#

MKTomBrady is washed up and isn’t a top tier player anymore

kindred osprey
#

I do think Reptile should have at least one special that's safe on block
Slow Ball maybe?
There is a gap there from most of his strings

#

They could make it safe
Not even plus
Just safe

#

Or acid spit
That shit isn't even useful at all without Motaro

#

Make it safe on block

subtle oyster
#

Idk why a projectile should be safe tho

#

But he probably needs something

kindred osprey
#

If there is a gap there, I don't see why not
Sonya's is, Motaro and Lao also are

#

Slow ball has a gap that can be interrupted, so like...
Why not make it safe?

wind hedge
kindred osprey
#

Is she safe on projectile?

subtle oyster
#

Sonya and Motaro are Kameos

wind hedge
subtle oyster
#

If you EX it

wind hedge
#

Or it's zero I always forget

subtle oyster
#

0

wind hedge
#

Damn even better than I thought

kindred osprey
#

Noone has a safe projectile without kameos?

#

Or Ex

subtle oyster
#

Reptile shouldn’t get a safe meterless launcher in your face like that

#

I think they need to buff other parts of him

kindred osprey
#

I mean, he always had it
It's like his signature move
Like Ice ball for Sub and Spear for Scorp

subtle oyster
#

The utility is different in this game

kindred osprey
#

But I do agree now that you said it
It launches

#

But Acid Spit?
That should be safe

#

It literally leads to nothing without Motaro

wind hedge
#

How do you think Nitara players feel?

#

It's also her reversal and it's a high

kindred osprey
#

Actually
Even better
Just make his full string safe
F211 or F311
Just increase pushback a little

#

Leads to nothing without Scorp

kindred osprey
wind hedge
#

It's just one of them things Luna. Just a not amazing move that attaches to the kit

kindred osprey
#

Buff Nitara
Make it a mid at least, and let her pressure from it on hit

wind hedge
#

Well she gets a "50/50" from it some people say. Low mid grab or overhead

kindred osprey
#

Ah
She does?
Ok, less worse

wind hedge
#

Because it doesn't push people back as far as Reptiles

#

But I just wish the EX was a mid

kindred osprey
#

Reptile gets nothing from it
Only F3, which is a high and minus
Safe, but minus

subtle oyster
#

Reptile relies too much on gimmicks imo. He’s not complete

wind hedge
#

But it has more range than Nitara's though

subtle oyster
#

He’s a shittier smoke

kindred osprey
#

If he had a reliable overhead, would be much better

#

Even uncharged, B2 is too slow

#

And no reach

wind hedge
kindred osprey
wind hedge
#

If it's faster than 28 frames I'm gonna bring up Nitara once again

#

That shit is so slow

subtle oyster
#

Buff Johnny

tough rock
subtle oyster
#

His mid should be an unblockable

#

Make Lao Hat plus 10 on block

subtle oyster
tough rock
subtle oyster
wind hedge
#

Honestly, I fucking hate the character. But I heard of a neat thing for sub. Where his overhead launcher should be 2 inputs. So you can only get the overhead or get it and the launch

kindred osprey
#

Would help him a lot if the first hit only was safe

#

He can use a Kameo or whatever to cancel the first hit tho

tough rock
# subtle oyster Make Lao Hat plus 10 on block

Well since we're making everyone SS + tier...

Raiden:
B2 +5 on block
Wakeup teleport invulnerable
F4 now has the same range as Reptile B3

Geras
F1 is 9 frames
Thanos Snap now needs only 1 clock. Combo reset needs 3
Adds Quick Sand from MK11

subtle oyster
#

Never wanna see quick sands again

wind hedge
#

Oh dude let's give Nitara 3 air dashes and only after that it would cost meter

#

Also give her a command grab that reverses the opponents controls

#

And her passive after blocking long enough bats show up and drain health healing Nitara

#

I think these are balanced changes

subtle oyster
#

Okay but in all seriousness make Sindel’s back 2, 1 or 2 frames faster startup and get a better hitbox for anti airs on her stand 1 or stand 2

tough rock
wind hedge
#

No joke, I think EX spikes should launch from young shang. To give him a proper anti air.

I’m not sure if I want mk9 Skarlet or a trap/setup character similar to 11 but different

What terrible mids are he talking about? Or are my characters just exempt for that

Hm I never played that one or at least never payed attention to them

#

Unfortunate I suppose

subtle oyster
#

In general mids are pretty slow in this game. The one guy who has a good mid is Johnny and everyone hates him

#

Liu has pretty good mids and people hate those too

And I'm glad only Johnny has one in MK1

#

Because Jax frame trapping you with F3 KB was just not fun

I don’t see anything wrong with fast mids. They just beat poke mash is all

@kindred osprey i think i just played against trainee of yours

The WiFi filter

#

The amount of complaints about SF ranked and people denying them matches because they're on WiFi

#

It's a survey to see what people want in these upcoming updates

tough rock
#

My to do list would be,

1.Crossplay
2. KL WiFi filter
3. Ranked set switch
4. Ping filter

#

I'll fight online wifi warriors in kasual most days but if I am forced to fight another 200 ping Mileena, Smoke or literally anyone in a FT3 my desire to play drops per round

wind hedge
#

I feel that

#

I'm gonna hopefully try out ranked pretty regularly next season. I just want rewards for the characters I play

#

I actually just want a cool skin for Shang

I really hate sub

kindred osprey

He is better than my Sub
I am just abusing lows

And overheads

I think he's gotta be the most annoying character

Scorp is worse imo

Sub has what feels like everything that's not damage

TIL Dive kick combos into a throw

#

When I tell you. Sub has a list of the most annoying moves

tough rock
#

Its just really klone

#

It wasn't in MK11 so anyone who hadn't played an earlier MK game have no idea about the shenanigans

#

He used to be able to yeet the klone full screen

wind hedge
#

Long D1, A weirdly slow dive kick, klone, his long F1 string? Whichever one he slides with. And just weirdly amazing strike throw

kindred osprey

LMFAO

Sonya does 140

Default has got to be 110. I swear most do 110

#

Jax no meter does 110

Normal back throws is 11

Johnny is a war crime

Man, perhaps I got to KOF this weekend

For the sake of the game I hope Johnny gets something changed when Omni man drops

Let me actually start the download

I hate Johnny a decent bit less than I do Sub

I hate raiden a LOT MORE than Johnny

wind hedge
#

As I put this game down. I really want to know why do the characters I pick feel so weirdly weak

#

Compared to this damn cast

tough rock
wind hedge
#

I know my entire move list

#

It's just I never know how to use

#

I get given this whole tool box and just feel lost in everything that's not "Oh it's a fireball"

#

Or like anti air

kindred osprey
#

My problem is the same as Kof and SF, I feel...
Approach
I don't know how to

tough rock
wind hedge
#

Bed is negative

tough rock
wind hedge
#

Punishable

#

Shit is like -22

#

People duck a lot so there's no point in using high strings at all

#

Like his S1 is great stagger pressure but it really doesn't mean much

#

His S2 is actually a great combo starter, but lacks range and is a high

tough rock
wind hedge
#

Old fireballs are good, but like people move pretty consistently so I can't use them that effectively

wind hedge
#

I'll lab it when I feel I feel like hoping on the game.

But I'd imagine Nitara, Sub, Liu, Raiden, Mileena, maybe Smoke etc can punish something -14

#

Like if they have a fast moving special they punish it.

#

Hell step one is seeing what everything my character does for like 10-30 minutes. And then attempt to brain Storm what I can do with this tool box. Normally it's not much

tough rock
#

Mileena ball can't, Liu flying kick can't,

#

Actually I take it back Sub can't punish EX bed

#

Its gonna take god tier timing for anyone except Johnny to punish EX bed

wind hedge
#

When my power comes back I'll see.

tough rock
#

Nitara literally has 1 frame to input and punish EX Bed

wind hedge
#

Because -14 is such a massive number

tough rock
#

Its two less frames than Geras F44 and has more pushback than Geras

#

So its 95% safe

wind hedge
#

I don't base my stuff much off of if it's is a computer only thing. Since testing shit with D1s. If it punishes it's normally not worth it.

tough rock
#

I really thing Johnny is the only character that can punish EX bed

wind hedge
#

95% safe too me. Doesn't feel safe in this game. At least for spending one entire bar when I'm probably really close to getting comboed

#

Most of his strings are safe to begin with I'm thinking right.

#

At least the ones I use, B2, S1,F4 and S2 I'm almost positive they all are safe

tough rock
#

Li Mei charging knee, Sub Slide, Mileena ball, arw all 14 frames and if you hold down you can crouch under Liu flying kick

Pressure is something I can lab at least. Just basic ish math. It's the usefulness of these things in neutral and how to even enforce my pressure. This is common FGs sense I can't bring to this game it feels

#

Like when you fight me with Sub you get in for free it feels like. I don't know how to stop that without just staying planted and only blocking. Therefore removing about most of neutral. With both Liu and Shang. That leaves me with just having to block everything out.

#

Honestly I think I'm running out of gas to improve

#

Or burning out. One of the 2

SHANG IS SO FUN

To ban a player for doing it seems kinda wrong

Ban em all. You don't hit these guaranteed resets by accident and you have to actively search and use them.

All I can say is, what do you expect when you put an unblockable launching ambush in the game lol. This was always bound to become an issue eventually and we all knew it

Like to me it's the fact that it took this long for someone to use it

#

And if it's a Sindel only thing. Then that's even weirder. Since a lot of people think it shouldn't be unblockable.

tough rock
subtle oyster
#

It’s a setup exactly how he was designed. It’s an unblockable setup that’s just designed poorly

wind hedge
#

I saw that both Kitana and Tanya can do it. But only at the very begining of a combo

#

I guess Sindel is dangerous because she can do it later in the game

#

Combo*

wind hedge
#

Is flawless blocking the only way out for the Kenshi player here?

but it looks like lao messed his timings up a bit so he could neutral duck the beginning part of 121 since its a high

kindred osprey
#

Who's gonna be on in 40min?

#

I need to test my new Shang Tsung

#

Ok
Why is Shang not top tier?
He's got good zoning, good dmg, somewhat good mids, D3 is a war crime

#

All he doesn't have is an easy way to play him

wind hedge
#

If you ask me. It's because the top tiers do it mostly better than he does. Minus like Johnny and Ashrah

#

Because they do different things really stupid

#

Kitana, Liu, and Lao

#

Are the ones I compare to him

#

He does about everything they do, but doesn't lean in any specific way.

#

Lao is closer to like rush down and also doesn't take a high school diploma to play. While he does do less damage, I think he has a much easier way of opening them up.

#

Liu is close to Shang but definitely better mids and a fireball that breaks fireballs. And stupid good stagger pressure. Bonus points because he has a proper anti air instead of spikes for air moves that aren't dive kicks

#

And Kitana is more of the zoner with different arcs for her fans and really good buttons and whiff punishing. While also having pretty good damage.

tough rock

Or what snake said

If these leaked patchnotes ive seen are real, you may need a new kameo with Shang

I kinda doubt it because I've never heard of a leaked patch before

kindred osprey

I mean, Frost and Sub do exactly the same I'm using Sareena for

@tough rock
Do that to me in a match

And I refuse to use meta kameos so I won't use Lao

Motaro should do the same

Scorpion counters your playstyle pretty hard I would assume Luna

He is just annoying af
Looping combos and that fucking Spears

wind hedge

I'd say don't let him hit you

#

The "whole thing" is he really has trouble opening people up

kindred osprey

That Spear has no right being that fast

#

Ice Ball isn't

wind hedge
#

Ask the scorpion player

subtle oyster
#

The spear is really fucking fast this game lol

kindred osprey
# subtle oyster What is annoying you about him?

The fast af spear. I jump from FULL SCREEN to do an air fireball or whatever
And the fucking thing catches me and full comboes.
But then I think: "Ah, I'll just duck it."
Nope. He also has a nearly full screen low.

And that mid knee attack
Not only it staggers, but the fuck also launches into big combo.

#

ALSO
That fucking spinning scythe attack that does more chip than Baraka and Raiden together
Along with Sektor or smt, that shit is nuts

wind hedge
#

Fun fact if you stand block it you can punish that

kindred osprey
#

I also just don't really like Kuai Liang

kindred osprey
wind hedge
#

I think it's like minus -9

#

The spinning

#

You take more push back crouch blocking

kindred osprey
#

Hm...
Interesting
Very interesting

wind hedge
#

There's a few things like that I ended up figuring out

kindred osprey
#

I have no idea what Shang can do
But Mileena probably ball rolls that

kindred osprey
#

Also... I think I can punish that on block
But I was talking about the spin

wind hedge
#

Nah you can probably just jab combo him if you're close enough

kindred osprey
#

Oh, true

subtle oyster
#

You don’t wanna be full screen chucking fireballs. Many characters can punish his super long sweep

kindred osprey
#

His 2 range is bigger than any Shang button

#

I honestly might just learn how to play Scorpion and morph into him whenever I fight him as Shang.

subtle oyster
#

Shang might struggle in this mu

#

He’s a counter zoner

#

And you’re a zoner

#

Who’s your kameo?

kindred osprey

OH
I wanted to comment
Felt REALLY proud of what I did today

Was fighting an Ashrah
Won 3-2
But the last match, I won both rounds by beating them with Ashrah as well
LMFAO

kindred osprey
subtle oyster
#

So Ashrah was winning until Ashrah won it for you

#

Pick Lao for Scorp mu

kindred osprey
#

The problem with my Shang is...
I just cannot transform mid combo yet
Don't have the execution yet

subtle oyster
#

Stealing the other persons soul and beating their ass with their own character is the best feeling in all of fighting games

#

Old Shang gonna have to carry in this mu imo

kindred osprey

Yo
Air down fireball is oppressive af

People don't know how to deal with it

That's how it felt, working on that mindset somewhat. But it felt I lost quite often very one sided.

You can change tremor variations mid fight

Tremor crystalline armor let’s you absorb attacks and let you punish anything

tough rock
pulsar pike
#

Tremor’s interesting cause on paper a lot of stuff is busted, but normally it’s all summon assists which is pretty bad, but he can make any move an ambush assist by switching variations during it which is busted, but doing so costs the full assist meter which is pretty bad.

Will have to see how quick his stuff recharges.

Alright I'm not insane

kindred osprey

#

I think I'm just gonna cave in and use sub with sareena

vague creek
#

Both low tier

#

Both bad for very different reasons

#

Also someone may need to train me if they can

#

Because for whatever reason, MK is the only FG I play that I cannot play decently

#

The fact that I can play games like SF, Tekken, GG, DnF, etc etc. To an average to above average level at least but play absolutely dogshit in NRS bothers me so much lmao

kindred osprey
#

If you wanna play a Ninja tho, I'd say Reptile and Smoke are the best

vague creek
#

It's nothing character specific. I can't do simple shit like hit confirms

kindred osprey
#

Says the Reptile main
LMFAO

vague creek
#

Like I can't do F12 into deadly vapours consistently. Which is wild to me because I can do really frame perfect stuff in SF...

#

Boom loops, Perfect Knuckle, Perfect TB? Easy

kindred osprey
vague creek
#

Stupid ass string into special, can't do shit

vague creek
#

Like I don't wanna do an unsafe special if they blocked it

kindred osprey
#

You play on pad right?
Not using the analog at all helps me a lot doing specials in MK

vague creek
#

Yeah I don't use analog for any FGs except platform ones

#

I also turned on advanced inputs because I'm more familiar with them over the simply MK system

#

Also maybe MK inputs are really precise? Like I can't afford to either mash or correct myself mid string like other FGs

#

Idk if any shortcuts exist either

wind hedge
#

Advanced inputs are not the way

#

It's significantly easier to use the regular system even it's weird to get used to

vague creek
#

Also another weird thing I just can't seem to do. F12 deadly vapours EX > F12 Deadly vapours EX

#

The second one simply won't come out and I can't tell why

kindred osprey

Just takes time getting used to doing the specials from strings tbh
I hated when I started
Doing pretty better now

#

AH
Have you deactivated the Release Check?

#

vague creek
wind hedge

You never played a charged character?

vague creek

Nope

#

Hate them

Half circles, full circles, DP motions, are all fine with me

wind hedge
#

Hm, I'd say to do your best to just get used to it. Luna makes the point you just gotta be fast.

vague creek
wind hedge
#

It's true

#

It's way faster to only do back forward than a half circle

vague creek
#

I mean I'm usually fine in training mode. But the second I'm in the match and I do land a F12 I can't seem to get the special off consistently

wind hedge
#

Yeah, hell I jump trying to throw fireball

kindred osprey
vague creek
#

It would be fine if it was just an occasional error but it happens often

#

Might just be a precision thing because I do have a habit of just rolling my fat thumbs over my controller lmao

#

It hasn't been a problem in any other FG but NRS games be punishing me for it

wind hedge
kindred osprey
#

Idk what Deadly Vapors is, but like
Press F12, and if you see it hitting you can press the special
Like, buffer the F12 and confirm the special

wind hedge

I'd really say just try practicing it more in like casuals or friend matches

#

Even though I know you're on PC so I don't know how it is.

#

I love my dodge/parry characters and Omni man's autododge shit is so cool

wind hedge
vague creek
#

Nah

#

What she do

#

Besides swing like Spiderman

wind hedge
#

She has a parry

#

She has "stocks" she has to charge to get a teleport. And parry charged that as well as having the follow up of the teleport or a push back

#

As well has having the best/2nd best mid in the game

vague creek
#

Hmm interesting

#

I'll have to see

#

Because I don't really care for her

#

Also, would crystalline armour blow through ice klone? Cause if so, imma cry

wind hedge
#

If Omni man will block lows then it'll have that over Tanya

vague creek
#

He does

#

Although it does require meter

wind hedge
#

Ahh

#

Does it just do a set amount of damage or does it lead to combos?

vague creek
#

I think you get that grab after it

#

The one where he slams you into the ground and chucks you into the air

#

So far that was always the default response post dodge

#

But I'm not entirely sure if it's a hitgrab or not. That will greatly change how it's used

wind hedge
#

Since like, Tanya's counter is essentially up block for mids

vague creek
wind hedge
#

Yeah

#

It'll work against Johnny's overhead string for sure but you'd probably have to lab it to see if you have time to put up the counter
